Suppose there are 100 workers in the economy in which all workers must choose to work a risky or a safe job. Worker 1's reservat

ion for accepting the risky job is $1; worker 2's reservation price is $2, and so on. Because of technological reasons, there are only 10 risky jobs.
A. What is the equilibrium wage differential between safe and risky jobs? Which workers will be employed at the risky firm?

B. Suppose now that an advertising campaign, paid for by the employers who offer risky jobs, stresses the excitement associated with "the thrill of injury," and this campaign changes the attitudes of the work force toward being employed in a risky job. Worker 1 has a reservation price of -$10 (that is, she is willing to pay $10 for the right to work in a risky job); worker 2's reservation price is -$9, and so on. There are still only 10 risky jobs. What is the new equilibrium wage differential?

C. Show a supply and demand for risky jobs diagram to represent the situations in question a and b.

Answer:

<em>The solution is explained in the explanation section below</em>

Explanation:

Solution:

(a) <em>In the economy there exist 100 workers. the wage of reservation to take risky job for worker 1 is $1 and $2 for worker -2. only 10 jobs is seen as risky.</em>

<em>The curve of supply is shown as upward which starts from 1, because the price of reservation for the first worker is 1 and 2 is for the second worker and it keeps going on like that.</em>

<em>The demand curve is seen as elastic in a perfect form, due to the fact that there are only 10 risky jobs.</em>

<em>The 10th worker price is $10, because is wage differential is $10</em>

<em>(b) The worker's altitude towards taking risky jobs has changed, because of the advertisement. the wage reservation is -10$ for the first worker and -$9 for the second worker.</em>

<em>Th jobs seen as risky is available are only 10</em>

<em>However, as a result of the campaign advertisement, the curve of supply moves down and the market equilibrium gets is gotten when the wage differential is -$1. most people on the daily basis dislike risk, but the market determines those risky jobs that will pay less than the safe ones. </em>

What is the present value (PV) of $50,000 received eighteen years from now, assuming the interest rate is 4% per year
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

$24,681.41

Explanation:

In this question, we use the present value formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER reflected the time period.

Provided  that,  

Future value = $50,000

Rate of interest = 4%

NPER = 18 years

The formula is presented below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the answer would be $24,681.41

leva [86]

Answer:

The correct answers are the following:

a - 4 Sunk

b - 5 Opportunity

c - 3 Fixed

d - 2 Variable

e - 6 Incremental

f - 1 Recurring

g - 7 Direct

h - 8 Non-recurring

Explanation:

a) <em>Sunk costs</em> are those that have already occurred in the past and they can not be recovered again so therefore that they are not relevant at the time of taking decisions regarding the futue.

b) <em>Opportunity costs</em> are those that try to measure and show the sacrifice done at the time of making a decision when that sacrifice represents the best second option that the person could have done.

c) <em>Fixed costs</em> are those that are always the same amount and do not change with the activity level of the production of the company.

d) <em>Variable costs</em> are those that do change with the amount of activity level that the company has during the production process.

e)<em> Incremental costs</em> are those that increase the cost level of the production while the output level increases as well, so they are a concept on the margin.

f) <em>Recurring costs</em> are those that tend to repete continously in the production process so the company already know how much the amount of the cost is.

g) <em>Direct costs</em> are those that the company associates with the production process regarding the commodities and all the primary sources that are needed to produce the good and therefore that they impact directly in the production and in the cost of the final product.

h) <em>Non-recurring</em> costs are those that the company are not familiar with due to the fact that they do not repete often and therefore tend to happen once in a while.
